If you had £1 for every time LPM flounced, or promised it then reneged, you’d have a lot more than £20…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Originally posted by Whorty View PostPosters responded to you with sound advice, but you didn't like the advice and threw a hissy. To most posters what you seemed to be asking was how to evade tax; this doesn't go down well on a professional forum.
But they did go to great length discussing why retirement should be the answer
Anyway it got something like 5k++ views so either a very interesting thread for everyone or highly entertaining. My view is it was highly Relevant and interesting rather than entertainingComment

What you clearly got initially was honest answers that, in the same situation, many on here would retire and enjoy the income. You may not have liked that answer, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a set of honest views.
As for a workaround, there isn't one ... at least, without going all tax evasion (illegal) there aren't any obvious solutions. Again, you didn't like this honest answer and started going all hissy ... this is when the thread went downhill. Maybe had you accepted the comments initially as honest then you wouldn't have had the following micky taking.
If you're seriously in this situation and you really have this much income then as you're not getting the answer you want on here why not pay to get tax advice? This would be the professional thing to do - then come back on here and share your newly learned wisdom.
As for the views - you'll find it's because it was entertaining and not because others found it interesting.Last edited by Whorty; 16 September 2020, 20:50.I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter manComment

Others are young and naive.
Life is too short for conflict. Just chill..anything is better still than being a permie.Comment
